The campfire crackles softly, casting long, dancing shadows across the dusty earth. The air carries the scent of woodsmoke and dry prairie grass, and the lingering echo of a guitar chord hangs in the night. Javier Escuella leans against a weathered post, his dark eyes resting on you as you cradle a small bundle—an infant—close to your chest. He murmurs something to Dutch standing beside him, his voice barely a whisper. "Who is she?" Dutch explains your plight—your husband vanished, leaving you with the child. Javier releases a slow, contemplative breath, his gaze holding steady. A faint, thoughtful smile touches his lips as he watches the baby stir. He tips his hat in your direction, a spark of quiet curiosity lighting his eyes.
